Some updates from Bianca Andreescu: - She said that she will be back a week before Roland Garros - She also said that she will be at the Paris Olympics
Bianca Andreescu to play Strasbourg or Rabat? Former US Open champion confirms return week before Roland Garros

Bianca Andreescu provided updates on her return to the WTA Tour on her Instagram stories. The former world No. 4 appeared on the entry list for the French Open and announced that her comeback would be the week before the second Grand Slam of the year.
The former US Open champion last played at the Canadian Open in August 2023, falling in the first round to Italian Camila Giorgi (6-3, 6-2). Andreescu then withdrew from the US Open due to a stress fracture in her back and did not compete for the rest of the season.
Andreescu returns after nine months
It was expected that the Canadian would return at Indian Wells in early March, although she had acknowledged that she wouldn't be at her 100%. She ultimately postponed her return until the clay swing. With Andreescu's presence confirmed at Roland Garros, she announced that she will return to the WTA Tour the week before Paris, although the tournament was not confirmed.

The French Open begins on May 26, and a week before, the WTA 500 Strasbourg Open and the WTA 250 Rabat will be played. During her professional seasons, Andreescu usually prepares for her participation in Roland Garros by playing tournaments like the WTA 500 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix and the WTA 1000 Madrid Open and Rome Open, but she has never been to Strasbourg or Rabat.
On the other hand, Andreescu commented that she will play in the Olympic Games in Paris, saying, 'It’ll be my first one. Something I’ve been dreaming for!!' However, the Canadian will have to wait for a wild card, as she is outside the top 300 in the Race to the Olympics and needs to be within the top 56 to qualify.
Unless Andreescu achieves an extraordinary run at Roland Garros, she will need one of the two wild cards given to former Olympic champions or Grand Slam champions. However, she also wouldn't have a guaranteed spot, as players like Simona Halep, Caroline Wozniacki, Naomi Osaka, Angelique Kerber, and Emma Raducanu are some who could request a wild card to compete in Paris, as their participation is not assured.
